First and foremost i did do a search but the answers do seem mixed. I didn't want to waste my money, the car costs me enough as it is.
So... I'm wanting a RCD 510, I don't hugely need sat nav so for me its not worth the extra money.
My car is a Nov 2006 GTi, has a lot of spec, I have no idea if this is factory or added on by the previous owner, but spec is Highline, MFSW, iPod Dock in Armrest, Xenons, Heated Seats etc I don't know if this spec potentially effects anything.
I do know that I will need a new gateway IF mine isn't a newer one which it is likely it isn't due to the car being 2006.
My questions are:
How can I check the gateway is this an easy job?
How easy is this to fit if I need a replacement, if its a coded jobbie from our fellow
@Eddie-NL - Plug in and play or more coding needed?
My current radio is an RCD500, do I need additional wiring to fit an RCD510 or is this a straight plug in and play?
Will this work with the MFSW and Highline display as a plug in and play or do I need anything additional?
If I have an RCD510 will the armrest iPod work or will I need MDi?
Can I fit Bluetooth to this RCD510, if so what do I need, again coded, or plug in and play?
When fitting, is there a tutorial, or any tips anybody can recommend when doing it?
Sorry for all the Q's I just want to get it straight before I spend money and then end up not bothering because I didn't do the proper research.
Thank you kindly
Liam,
